    People ought to deny ICE service for a start. Anyone in their vicinity can contribute and nothing is too small.

    If they want anything from you, it’s your duty to make sure they can’t have it.

    If they order a sandwich, they should be told the sandwich maker is broken today. Every day. If they need a car repair, that part will take six months to arrive. When they pay for electricity, their payment was misplaced. Their garages should be blocked by parked cars. The garbage truck should accidentally drive past their property again this week. Etc.

    Don’t be an ICE collaborator.

      Hatemonger much?

      Birthright citizenship in the United States is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution

      And it gets worse:

      one of the children has a rare form of metastatic cancer and was deported without medication or consultation with their treating physician, despite ICE being notified about the child’s urgent condition. This follows last month’s ICE deportation of a family including a 10-year-old American citizen with brain cancer.

      edit: sorry, I had to remove the heartfelt direct insult. It really slips out easier when you’re typing online as opposed to IRL 😳

      When the time of reckoning comes they’ll say “We were just following orders. We’re so sorry!”

      But right now they say “We’re following Trump’s orders! America, fuck yeah!”

      And they don’t think, they don’t empathize. They only feel their side of the story.

      Well, that kid’s mom had tattoos, which makes her part of a criminal gang. If the kid didn’t want to be deported, they should have represented themselves in court.

      Is a thing that I’ve legitimately heard reich-wing proto-nazis say.

      Deporting the kid contributed to a statistic that they are publicly presenting as positive action, which is allowing them to cling to power. That’s it. That is the banality of evil.

      They do what the average conservative everywhere does: Convince themselves that most people secretly agree with what they are doing. They truly and honestly believe over two thirds of the country want them to do that.

      That’s why they keep talking about conspiracies involving someone controlling elections, the government etc. because reality doesn’t match up with their views. And they don’t think they can be wrong, so they conclude that it has to be some shadow organization that is going against the people.

      It’s also why they keep talking about themselves as if they are revolutionary fighters going against a great evil.

          Instead of real activism I might just keep reminding ourselves, everything we do online should be considered posted under our names + emailed to Cashmoney Pawtel, subj line: “domestic terrorist 👇”

        Trump isn’t the only one acting. And most of the foot soldiers were already on the job and just daydreaming about when they could really get tough. They need to be doxxed and recorded so they can be punished for their crimes one day. No “amnesty to let the nation heal” or “just doing their job”. There needs to be consequences.

      Obviously because the child with cancer is just a drain on national resources and he’s doing the country a favour.

      /s for me, but I suspect that this is how he rationalizes it. He does love Hitler, after all.

      Funny, their lawyers say otherwise:

      according to the lawyers, their families weren’t given a choice, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stalled their efforts to make arrangements for the children, ensuring they would be sent away with their mothers.

      Now, who is more likely to lie… multiple individuals who have zero connection to each other, or an administration which has been caught lying before and is headed by a convicted felon.

      Per the report, “One mother who was about to be deported was allowed less than two minutes on the phone with her husband to figure out what would become of her 2-year-old U.S. citizen son,” while one of the other mothers “wasn’t allowed to speak with attorneys or family members before she was deported, accompanied by her U.S.-born children,” despite ICE agents knowing the child had stage 4 cancer.

      according to the lawyers, their families weren’t given a choice, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stalled their efforts to make arrangements for the children, ensuring they would be sent away with their mothers.

      So… Can you refute the accounts of this happening, or are you just slurping down orange dick and gargling out an excuse for it later?

      That’s not the point; we shouldn’t be deporting people at all. Full stop. Have a little empathy and remember that these are human beings we’re talking about.

      Edit: I don’t even know why I’m wasting my breath. I checked your comment history, most of your posts have more downvotes than upvotes. No sensible person could be proven wrong so many times, yet still continue to post ignorant shit, not without some self reflection after awhile. You’re clearly a troll.

            Kaboom and other reactionaries hate their fellow citizens more than anything. It’s why he’s an authoritarian: he thinks conservatives should be able to tell people how to live by force of law.

            When they pretend to care about rights and liberty it’s just a smokescreen to hide their real passions: bootlicking for oligarchs and imposing white supremacy.
